I was not able to have this boot through fastboot. Display was not shown and there was no device detected through USB, including using the telnet hook.

Also not sure where to note this, but I am hoping to find other people with Ouya hardware willing to contribute to postmarketOS, as I have been attempting a port for a little over a year and am still struggling with the device. Any other maintainers/contributers are highly appreciated, and I'm glad that you are helping clean up the device :)

@rendeko: well, you could try reaching out to fellow Ouya users, in the various Ouya communities. Like this for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/ouya/comments/a2y5q4/postmarketos_on_the_ouya/

@rendeko Thanks for testing this!

I am going to close this for now since there isn't much in the diff without the gcc8 part. It turns out the APKBUILD was already "modern".

@ollieparanoid BTW, your link to the device wiki page is broken.

In the reddit post? the link works for me with the new design of reddit. maybe they have a bug and it does not work with the old design, in case you are using that. I've noticed that they have problems with parentheses in links before.
